After reentering Mayport on three July, the ship devoted July to post-deployment go away and upkeep; and a tender availability in Mayport, preparatory to regular overhaul, took care of August.

During this deployment, Waccamaw was the primary naval ship to go to the newly independent nation of Cyprus. Completing overhaul in April 1962, the ship sailed for refresher coaching at Guantanamo Bay. On 20 April 1959, Waccamaw departed for another Mediterranean tour.

Through the summer time of 1954, Waccamaw was again in the Mediterranean for her fourth tour with the sixth Fleet.
